YOU WONDER WHY THE CANDIDATE YOU HATE WILL WIN

Opinion | The Case Against Riots - The New York Times

The reason is the poor, and their pride.
They want the poetry—not, a poetry.
When you need to work, there is no place to hide.
A poet, lazily dreaming, is no longer poor; the poor
Are employed in public transport; they labor, they stumble,
And celebrities who sing “Imagine” on Zoom don’t want to do these things.
The celebrities are living dreams of money, lust, and pride,
Which you and I must keep inside.
I betray poetry in this poem;
I cannot escape the poor;
The poor worker is what I am.
And I am not a poet; I am a religious man.
Anyone who is a little bit conservative
Has but one celebrity—
You preach poetries.
But there is only one poetry.
And it is not poetry.
